Just do it. Seriously. Anybody can fix grammer/spelling/style at
anytime in the future. But actual documentation for actual topics is
worth its weight in gold, even if someone else needs to tweak it
afterwards...

We need tutorials aimed at all levels. There has been discussion about
a document which lists all the error messages and what they mean. Any
documentation is good.

Have a nice day,
